Chapter 60
Chapter 60
Chen Fan’s blitzkrieg went very smoothly, and the five wings of the Japanese army were completely defeated in less than two hours.
But Seishiro Itagaki is also not a vegetarian, and he still has the ace of the Fifth Division in his hands.
Since the last time Taiyuan lost, Itagaki Seishiro racked his brains to plan day and night in order to use the existing weapons to defeat Chen Fan.
The first option is to attack, but now it is clearly not necessary.
The second method is to defend and counterattack, which is exactly what is used in this situation.
After receiving Seishiro Itagaki’s order, the independent tank wing and two mixed armored wings of the Fifth Division immediately approached Chen Fan’s tank brigade from both sides.
Xu Shaohua saw the devil’s douding tank and armored car rushing over from a distance, picked up the radio in the car and shouted: “Brothers, the little devil’s tank is here.” Leave them alone, keep rushing forward, rushing as many people as possible. ”
Chen Fan’s task for the tank brigade was to keep rushing forward.
If you encounter an enemy armored force, leave them alone for the time being, and wait until the infantry behind them to follow and then strangle them together.
Seishiro Itagaki stood at the head of the castle and personally commanded the battle.
Seeing that Chen Fan’s tank brigade did not stop to fight a decisive battle, a trace of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
“Don’t want to stop? I won’t let you get your wish!”
Itagaki Seishiro shouted: “Order the 49th and 73rd Wings to surround them no matter what means they use, and do not allow them to leave.” ”
“Hai!” A devil turned to give orders.
Itagaki Seishiro then shouted: “Order the heavy artillery wing, prepare to bomb, don’t skimp on shells, let me blow them all up.” ”
Hearing this order, all the officers were dumbfounded.
You just sent two wings to block people’s tanks, and now you are going to bombard them with heavy artillery, isn’t that even your own people blown up together?
Itaka Cho Shi boldly asked: “Itagaki-kun, if you do this, then the two wings that have just been sent… Wouldn’t it be a huge loss?”
Itagaki Seishiro smiled wickedly: “I just want to sacrifice them and take out the enemy’s tank troops.” ”
Itaka Choshi was so frightened that his scalp was numb, and Seishiro Itagaki had become a devil in his eyes at this moment.
The other officers were also so frightened that they did not dare to speak.
Sacrifice tens of thousands of lives in two wings, which only the devil can do.
But Itagaki Seishiro didn’t bother to explain, he was a famous general, a strategist, and he had to make sacrifices when necessary.
Chen Fan’s tank brigade was too destructive and Itagaki Seishiro had already seen that even if he sent the armored troops of the fifth division, he would definitely not be able to take down the opponent’s heavy tank brigade.
If they are kept, then not 10,000 people will die on their side, and tank brigades and air bombers will cooperate, and their side may be completely destroyed.
Therefore, no matter what method is used, he must first take out the tank brigade.
Sacrificing 10,000 people, Itagaki Seishiro felt that it was worth it.
After receiving the order, the two wings did not know that they had been sacrificed, and while shouting long live, they charged at the tanks, using human walls to block the tanks’ charge.
Itagaki Seishiro looked at it excitedly, although these two wings are second-rate troops, they are not vague at all, and they really use a human wall to temporarily block the tank.
Only temporarily blocked, Itagaki Seishiro knew that it would not be long before the Panther tanks would completely overwhelm their defenses.
“Fire the gun, fire the gun immediately, bomb the whole range.” Seishiro Itagaki roared excitedly.
The herald ran to give the order trembling, and even he was frightened by this order.
A minute later, the two heavy artillery wings that received the order opened fire in unison.
Large-caliber shells tore through the air and roared towards the Japanese and tank brigades.
In just a short moment, dozens of heavy artillery shells landed, and the blocking Japanese and tank brigades all turned into a sea of fire.
A large number of ghost soldiers were killed, and more than thirty tanks of the tank brigade were blown up in an instant.
Xu Shaohua hurriedly ordered: “The whole army retreats, immediately withdraw the enemy’s artillery fire, quickly…”
All the tanks made a hasty U-turn and ran back with full power.
Seishiro Itagaki laughed when he saw this scene: “If you want to run, can you run?” Today you are dead!”
The heavy artillery continued to bombard, and more than thirty more than thirty tanks were blown up during the retreat of the tank brigade, leaving only a hundred tanks.
As soon as they escaped the bombardment zone, tank wings and mixed armoured units of the Fifth Division rushed up from both sides and slammed into them.
Xu Shaohua stomped his foot angrily, wanting to fight back immediately.
But he still remembered Chen Fan’s strict order to him: if he encountered enemy bombardment, he immediately retreated. If encircled, induce them to pursue. Don’t fight back, absolutely not.
Thinking of this, Xu Shaohua gritted his teeth and let all the tanks continue to retreat.
The soldiers of the tank brigade were all itching their teeth in anger, obviously they could fight back, but they wanted to retreat, and their lungs were going to explode if they were holding their breath.
The tank brigade retreated, the armored regiments behind also retreated, and even the infantry further behind began to retreat.
